A well-built raised bed makes planting easier, improves drainage and brings crisp lines to any garden. We design and install beds across BR3, from Eden Park to New Beckenham, with layouts that suit how you actually use the space. Whether you want a tidy flower border or a productive vegetable garden, we’ll create a bed that looks right year-round. Many clients ask for beds that complement paths and patios near Kelsey Park and beyond.
Beckenham’s mix of Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions often comes with long rear gardens, side access constraints and established planting to work around. We’re used to levelling on sloping lawns, tying new beds into existing patios, and keeping everything sympathetic to older brickwork and garden walls. If you’re in Elmers End or Clock House, we’ll plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our designs focus on clean edging, practical heights and long-lasting materials.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss planting goals and agree the best materials for your budget. Ground is prepared properly: we remove turf where needed, install a stable base, line beds appropriately and fill with quality topsoil/compost blends. Work is typically completed in 1–2 days, leaving the garden tidy and ready to plant. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, punctual installs and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley can vary from sandy patches to heavier, compacted soils, so we tailor the base and soil mix for reliable drainage. Many BR3 homes have narrow side access, so we plan material sizes and delivery routes carefully, especially near Beckenham Junction station. Where parking is limited, we schedule drop-offs to avoid delays and keep neighbours happy. We also match brick and edging styles to local period properties for a cohesive finish.

For raised beds in the Beckenham area, most projects fall between £200–£800 per bed depending on size, height and material. Sleeper beds are often the most cost-effective, while brick, stone or metal can cost more due to materials and labour. If you’re installing multiple beds, adding steps, or bringing in large volumes of soil, typical overall spend can be £400–£1,500.
Most raised bed installations take 1–2 days from ground preparation to final tidy-up. A single sleeper bed can sometimes be completed in a day, while brick or stone beds usually take longer due to foundations, setting and finishing. Access in BR3 gardens, the amount of excavation, and whether we’re removing old edging or turf can all affect the timescale. We’ll confirm a clear schedule before starting.
Raised beds are usually classed as minor garden works and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Bromley. However, rules can change if you live in a listed building, a conservation area, or if the bed forms part of a larger structure (retaining walls, significant changes in levels, or boundary works). We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and advise if you should check with the council.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for raised bed construction.

Natural weathering of timber, minor settlement of new soil, and damage caused by third parties aren’t included, but we’ll always explain how to maintain your bed and can return to top up soil if needed.
